orig playstation Q about bateries

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Tue Feb 08, 2005 5:45 pm

i have an ORIGINAL playstation, not the psone. that said, i have already got all of the things into the case, and figured out how to hook up the video, but how do i hook the battery up? i dont even know howmany volts come out. and then the batery needs to be enough to power the screen. i have a 9.6v lion rechargable, will this do?

I think the 8v ones called a 7808, not sure about the 3.5 volt one.. Also, www.digikey.com is a great place to find electronic components.

thanks for the place, but do i need two voltage regulators?
and also, will my screen be able to hook up to either the 7808 or the other one. why wouldnt a 7805 or 78035 work?

Yes you'll need two reg's. A 7805 outputs 5v, and a 7808 outputs 8 volts. Like I said youll ned to find a 3.5v reg, but Im not sure what they're called. To answer the screen question you need to post what screen you have

ok i get the thing about the volt regs, accept for how many ma i need. i went to digikey and found a 3.0 3.3 and 3.8 volt reg, and an 8 volt reg, but they have varying current from -1.5 a to 60+a which would i need? thank you all for your help

also, how could i get it so that when i plug it into the wall (i am thinking of keeping the original powersupply) it charges nd can still play while plugged in? this is complex to me.

what bout the charging?

You want to have a built in chager, your going to need a charger some how fit in there. So go down to you local Radioshack and they have Ni-CD/Ni-MH battery chargers that will work with almost any brand under the sun. You your looking to find a way to set that up; either go to doomportables.org, under systems, under N64, and click on RPGnick he has a tourtorial about the N64 that touches on the subject of built in charger; the other optinion is to buy Ben's book, I'm sure he has one of his project set up to charge well plugged in they play well plugged in.
